Description

Instrument of an outstanding manufacturing! These exceptional quality wind instruments are made in Kathmandu by a craftsman who supplies the most demanding monasteries of the region. The Gyaling literally meaning "Indian trumpet" is a traditional wind instrument used in Tibet. Specifically, it is a horn double reed like the Sorna (or chalemie in Europe) used primarily in Tibetan monasteries during the puja (prayer and song) and associated with the peaceful deities and the idea of devotion. It is shaped with a long body oboe hardwood and a bell made of copper or another metal. Our instruments are beautifully covered with flowery embellishments of coloured glass, turquoise and coral. If you want to know more about this instrument, visit the Dharmatèque section.

Tips for ritual objects

A ritual object, like any instrument of religious practice, must be respected with circumspection. We remind you here some ethical rules:

  • Ritual objects are objects of practice that have the power to protect us and help us on the path to liberation. They should therefore be treated with respect, that is, kept away from the ground and places where people sit or walk or dirty places.
  • Outside ritual moments, objects should be protected by an appropriate holster for rest and / or transport and not mixed with, for example, dirty or soiled equipment / objects.
  • Ritual objects are not decorative objects. To acquire a ritual object, underlies that one wishes to use it for its practice and one must therefore devote a privileged place where it will remain outside the moments of practices.
  • If you no longer want to keep your ritual object, do not throw it away! Please contact the nearest Buddhist Center and make a donation. In doing so, this object will give you merit until the end of your relationship.

This is a few non-exhaustive rules of Buddhist ethics that you are free to respect or not.

Warning

All our objects are handmade. Each piece is unique and it is impossible to reproduce exactly the same. Slight differences may therefore appear in the shapes, proportions, colors and / or materials used in our descriptions and specification sheets.

The silver (metal) used in Nepal is always composed of an amalgam and is most often plated on metal parts. Most of the stores that sell 925 sterling silver products from Nepal are fraudulent!

Likewise, some stones considered semi-precious from Nepal or India are actually stones reconstituted from powder of semi-precious stones, such as turquoise or coral. Nevertheless, they seem to retain the properties of the original stones. In the case where reconstituted stones are used, we always specify it in the specifcation sheeet.
